If they did, I think a man like Hinckley would've addressed them.
It's not PC for people to show people of other cultures respect by speaking their language. If all talks are in English, it means nonEnglish speaking members remain on the outside looking inside.

And to state "a man like Hinckley would've addressed them," is not an argument. He's not a polyglot and served his mission in England, so he may not be sensitive to that issue, no mattter how a good a man he is. I'm certain there are a myriad of other culturally-related issues which our leaders ignore out of ignorance, not out of good sentiments.
